First of all, http://www.droid-life.com/2011/03/01/cut-the-rope-for-android-nearing-release-preview-goes-live/
Second, I think I found the apk... the very one that's shown in the video. I have it on my phone, and it looks quite official. It is a lite version, though, probably the free version that will be released once the game goes up on the market. I don't know what it's compatible with, though. I have it running on my Evo, CM7 RC2.
EDIT: This is an UNofficial Chinese port of the game.
Enjoy!
EDIT: Played this for a while now... beat all except for one level. It seems to be pretty buggy. Taps are almost always registered as swipes, and multi-touch just doesn't work. Still, it should help stave off anyone's craving for some Cut The Rope
EDIT AGAIN: since I went and bumped this, I might as well update. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12656267&postcount=55 has an almost fully functional apk of this. Works very well, just turn off music.
Yey! Good news! Thanks.
that looks fun ha ha
that's not the real one. it's an unofficial port from an unofficial chinese market.

Based on the whole 3rd party markets and running naughty code thing I would not be installing this.
This has packages.. inside the .apk.. not touching it.
Wouldn't touch it. Giant alarm bells 1) packages inside the. Apk, and secondly, a port from chinese market. Sounds like anyone who loads that up is asking for trouble...

General rule of thumb, an American will hack you just as well as a Chinese. And yet you all cry murder over a game ported over by Chinese developers? WOW...
I suggest you all look at the permissions this app requests and then head on over to http://developer.android.com/reference/android/Manifest.permission.html and read up on what each does.
android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE
android.permission.INTERNET
android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE
android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE
android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION
android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION
All pretty standard for a game that uses the Chinese equivalent of OpenFeint.
This apk has absolutely ZERO write access to any part of your phone. NONE.
You can now proceed to put your aluminum foil hats back on, peace.

This is most definitely not official. This is an unofficial port done by some Chinese developers. It's not even a very good port at that, since it's a direct port of the iPhone version. They didn't rewrite any of the code for the actual game.
Yeah, it's not official. But it's definitely NOT a virus. Had it on my phone for a while, nothing ever happened, and Lookout never detected anything.
have some kind a good news, i discovered if you turn off the music in the options (sound effect can still stand on if you want) the game works good without the glitchy controlls like taps that register as swipes
played it every level can be played with ful 3 stars and smooth on my phone
can they port other apps like taptap?
Vaya boricua.
at my X10a 2.1 not work
I liked the idea, but the game itself was good, but no multitouch and quiet short. But good job!

This thread confirmed working Swype 2.4.44.10912 for HTC Incredible. Be sure you download "SWYPO v2.4.44 - WVGA English" version.
Came across other versions (eg 10814) that did not work.
Perform an "upgrade" of the package and dictionary is saved.
Hope this makes it easier for you guys to find a working version!

Almost every person on this forum that likes Swype has said that they would buy it if it was available. Closing a Beta and making APKs that expire only leave people with limited choices. Either find a copy that works, or choose another product. If you make someone have to buy another product, why would they switch back to your product once its ready, especially if you have to pay for that one as well?
That being said, Ultra Keyboard seems awesome. I will probably buy it after my trial is up unless I find something about it I don't like. Thank you for the suggestion.

I don't agree with the way swype does the beta. They are not the holy grail especially since google just got blind type.

Doesn't work for me on Froyo 2.2. Let's you tap but not swype. Says it's not configured for this device (using incredible).

just checked this out via the free trial, definitely doesnt seem like a bad alternative. i recommend trying it out if you, like me, cant find a working swype link.
I am trying ultra keyboard. It has more features than swype, but so far it seems less accurate. In other words, I make a lot more mistakes. It could be a matter of getting used to. Also, the keyboard is ugly compared to the red Swype version which was beautiful.
I'm in Swype beta, this is my current version. Although mine ends with 10912.t100
Not sure if that matters or means anything.

Anyone having issues with it, try out SlideIT - I have used them both and love the responsiveness and accuracy of SlideIT>Swype. I have no affiliation with it, just giving my sure to be met with harsh criticism opinion lol
I am not interested in the morality of possessing "swyped" software, or the argument thereof. I am also not interested in the substitutes-i have tried them and don't care for them. I am simply concerned with locating a functional version of swype
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
All these different versions of swype being canceled over and over again is really annoying
Nice! It's great to be swyping again. Confirmed working on my Incredible running Virtuous v3.0.1. It also looks a lot cleaner than the version 1.61.37.8128 of swype I was running previously which had "expired" yesterday.
Ultra is better than slide it. I would gladly pay for swype if they made it available on the market.
Ultra does have allot of features but not as accurate as swype.

The upgrade also works for me, using Skyraider vanilla 3.0 RC. I don't understand swype's strategy. Why don't they just put it on the market? I'd pay for it.

Ok guys, I said I would look into improving Angry Birds and I did All ads are gone, and I optimized the app for better performance! Enjoy everyone, let me know what you think of it!!!! Also, please vote in the poll if you can! Thank you
Thanks to: Creators of the game!
Link down as requested by developers

It definitely seems to play better, but is still choppy enough for me to have a really hard time playing it :/ It's nice to have the ads gone also. If they release a paid version that works smoothly without ads, it would be a real winner.
Awesome improvement, though! Thanks!

No problem, glad it's better and that you like it This is probably the best we'll be able to get it to run on the hero with the hardware unfortunately, but at least it's better than before
While this may be the best we get, it just seems odd that that is the case. I mean, I've seen some pretty impressive stuff on my hero, and Angry Birds is not it It just seems like a lazy port to me. I've been playing Pandas Vs. Ninjas and it plays flawlessly.
It just seems to me that Rovio could make this much more accessible by reworking the animations, textures, etc. to work on more devices. This is not that complex of a game

True, and when the app gets updated I'll update the Impaled version as well
It's definitely better than the recently updated version, still choppy tho. Like Dassin said, I think they were just lazy. Hopefully with enough complaints Rovio will get it in gear. And thanks for making changes Impaler, I'll keep downloading your copy just so I don't have to put it in airplane mode to get rid of ads!
Seems to play better...but the Hero is too hardware limited to run it perfectly. Removed it from my phone and will stick with the iPod version to not waste time on my phone

So I've actually had this in the market for a few months now but never actually posted here. This was one of the first apps I created and it just sort of grew and got an assortment of features. So if anyone wants to give it a go here is the market link:

If anyone finds this app too complex, do try my other app I've developed to address this issue. It has nearly all the same features though very easy to use. Here is the xda link:
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/classic-notes-lite-for-android/

This was the first app to make the App of the Week feature on my site. It's still one of my favorite apps I've ever used. Definitely the best notepad I've ever seen!

Was the first app I bought for my new Galaxy SII. Crazy amount of features.
+1 for sync! PLEEEEEEASE!!!!
Edit: Nevermind.
Love this POWERFUL app. But love to have the following changes in the upcoming version.
1. Memorize the settings selection in Extra. E.g. "from" and "to" language for Google Translate, Currency converter.
2. Sorted list for Currency. (e.g. ANG > BHD > VEF ...etc). It's quite hard to find the currency I am looking for the current implementation.
Just downloaded it, very nice app, seems to have LOADS of functionality.
Thank you very much
Glad you guys like it. Yes still lots of work to do with it
Just downloaded this. looks awesome, will be testing it today
Preface :
Well i know that its too early to call android 5.0 keylimepie and all (or is it ? ) but just for the time being let it be so the title says the rest
Aim :
To let people post there wishes on what Google should alter or add into the latest and greatest version of their mobile operating system when it comes out some time next year !
Aftermath :
Nothing no Google employees are ever gonna see this but we'll get to know what people are expecting which may help us better judge KLP when it comes out
Well i have a long list of wishes too but i need a physical keyboard to type em all out so I'll edit this post with my wishes are soon as i reach home
Wait ....
Are there similar threads ? - no worries just report and delete this one - i mean no offense just wanted to gather more info from a creative discussion
Thanks for viewing !
To be honest it is unlikely it will be called key lime pie i am saying that because of what many users have found in the jelly bean easter egg looks more like kandy kane or something similar
im what Willis was talking about
My first wish is please change the name other than key lime pie... If sounded repeatedly it feels like some chinese words or something. lol.
i wish google could reduce the OS battery consumption.

It would be great if android smartphones can last 1-2 days longer with daily usage.
My wish would be to make all the worth while apps FREE for everyone for a day"only joking?". Would like to see more apps for photosphere to work along side with. Would like to see all the advertising removed from all apps. I would like more interactive ideas with say tv that works flawlessly and not so much fuffing around, 'dear me im sounding like an applesaurus!!"

Sent from my HTC One S using xda app-developers app
Since they have a new "Chrome" (really some other alloy) statue at MountainView, maybe it'll be called Khronium. Android 5.0 Khronium sounds so cool xD.....but yea it'd break the dessert line...but maybe it'll be so epic it HAS to break the usual naming convention.
I want to see these features:
Root Access choice by default
Lockscreen Customization by default
Group MMS by default
A more Gesture based interface like Ubuntu...(xD copying isn't so bad >.> ) or at least a new UI that has the different Settings, and such, much more consolidated to reduce the need to press this, then that, then this, then back to that.
Google Play Music upgraded to include basic and advanced music features, as extensive as the Sony Walkman app for example and built into the Stock ROM with full voice controls like Samsung's music app
Stock file manager with root access
Revamped and fully functional Google Docs integrated into the OS completely.
Full Desktop Experience when docked would be cool.
Features that are more outlandish:
Insta-Porting. Instantly port the latest AOSP version of Android to any device. (rofl yea to the right)

I know my opinion is irrelevant because you guys do not care and the build is currently the definition of " Not a daily driver"

One can still understand the flow and mechanics of the layout.
I use my phone for everything. Quickly moving from one app to another.
In this sense, Ubuntu flows like a river in how to navigate through the apps and home pages. Everything was smooth and no lag any where.
I did find a draw back to the easy access though.
Because of all the swipes in different locations at different times and the multiple spots to pull down different sections of the notification bar, you find your self
Being as clumsy as a new born giraffe while navigating.
Also, because hard ware keys are broken. I found my self somewhere but lost. It would take me a minute to get where I needed to go only because I just didn't know how to get there haha
Coming from touch wiz and an AOSP ROM here and there... Ubuntu almost seems childish?
The layout makes me feel like an old man picking up a smart phone for the first time.
The colors and theme remind me of a day care.
Haha I know all of this is purely theme as not everyone will be happy with it.
But the idea and creativity into this is purely AMAZING.
One of the most refreshing (ROM?) I have used.
I will be coming back when it is daily qualified and might even think that day would be donation worthy
Side notes:
If you are thinking about flashing. DO it.
It was fun until I realized there is no WiFi or network.
Most Apps open but don't work
No settings?
Can't turn screen off?
Lock screen was only a picture I believe?
Did not seem to be interactive yet.
random contacts and media in there. I believe it was for the demo purposes only.

It's definitely different and original, which I like. Hard to get a real feel for it since it's basically a non-working demo at this point. Lots of swiping all over the place to do everything. But it looks pretty clean and has some cool features like the favorite apps bar and easy app switching/multitasking.
for people asking about the link, it is on rootzwiki forum.
Saw an article on this and knew it would be posted about here. Not ready to try it out myself just yet. But I do like the idea and will be watching. Unfortunate that they put out a semi-functional build with flaws such as these but it's understandable.

Builds for the GS3 variants is just a developer preview, I'm guessing we won't see a solid functional build for any device until the source code drops which will probably be around the same time the Ubuntu phone is announced/released. Truly unique experience, lots of swiping and great for multi tasking which I do a lot of. Wasn't too thrilled with the dock system but I suppose it's worth getting use to. The ability to dual boot ubuntu touch/android will be the selling point for most ppl.
